From the Garden in Eden in Genesis at the beginning of the Holy Scriptures to the New Jerusalem in Revelation at the end of Holy Writ, "Holy Land" is a major theme in the Bible. The Holy Land was and is that estate where man dwells in the presence of Almighty God. Between the biblical bookends, the land of Israel, in particular, the Holy City of Jerusalem, and more particular, the Temple Mount is that "Holy Land," the Kodesh Kodeshim or the "Holy of Holies" that is esteemed above all the earth.

The Word of God to Jerusalem was that He was extremely jealous for Jerusalem and Zion. He was coming and He would be a wall of fire around her and the glory in her midst.This is reminiscent of His glory in the midst of the burning bush. Moses took off his shoes! At the entrance to the Holy Land Joshua encountered the Captain of the Lord's Host, and he saw YHWH's glory. Joshua took off his shoes. Zechariah wrote that YHWH will possess Judah as His portion in the Holy Land (Zechariah 2:12). From Genesis to Revelation, from the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem the Holy Land is a major motif in the Holy Scriptures. This is the estate where God was born as Son of Man. He lived and played, He worked and ministered in the Holy Land. Yeshua was betrayed, beaten, crucified, and He was buried in the Holy Land. He resurrected in the Holy Land and ascended back to His Heavenly Father from the Holy Land. Yeshua is soon to return to the Holy Land to reign as King over the earth. The Holy Land is God's Land. We should take off our shoes!

A brilliantly observed memoir of an unprecedented and remarkable spiritual journey. While religion has fuelled the often violent conflict plaguing the Holy Land, Yossi Klein Halevi wondered whether it could be a source of unity as well. To find the answer, this religious Israeli Jew began a two–year exploration to discover a common language with his Christian and Muslim neighbours. He followed their holiday cycles, befriended Christian monastics and Islamic mystics, and joined them in prayer in monasteries and mosques in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden traces that remarkable spiritual journey. Halevi candidly reveals how he fought to reconcile his own fears and anger as a Jew to relate to Christians and Muslims as fellow spiritual seekers. He chronicles the difficulty of overcoming multiple obstacles注eological, political, historical, and psychological注at separate believers of the three monotheistic faiths. And he introduces a diverse range of people attempting to reconcile the dichotomous heart of this sacred place柠struggle central to Israel, but which resonates for us all.

The land is an important theme in the Bible. It is a theme through which the whole biblical history found in the Old and New Testaments can be studied and analyzed. Looking at the land in the Bible from its beginnings in the garden of Eden this publication approaches the theme from three distinct perspectives – holiness, the covenant, and the kingdom. Through careful analysis the author recognises that the land has been universalized in Christ, as anticipated in the Old Testament, and as a result promotes a missional theology of the land that underlines the social and territorial dimensions of redemption.

In his latest book, Bishop Isiah Lawrence Nottage proves that the Garden of Eden was located – or planted in – East Jerusalem, below the Temple Mount/Mount Moriah. He gives the exact dimensions and size of the garden in this astonishing work. Bishop Nottage also pinpoints the area where Adam and Eve lived after they were expelled from the garden, and he proves it, by pinpointing the scripture where The City Adam is mentioned. In addition, he explains exactly what forbidden fruit Adam and Eve ate. He also considers: What was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? What was the tree of life in the middle of the garden? What was the exact date Jesus Christ was born? Who is the second Adam? He also explains whom Cain married and the country that is today the land of Nod, where he went. East Jerusalem: The Former Garden of Eden unravels many more mysteries.

In this illuminating festschrift, sixteen well-known evangelical scholars celebrate the work of a man who has greatly contributed to Evangelical biblical scholarship as we know it today. G. K. Beale is renowned for his studies that explore how the writers of the New Testament used the Old Testament Scriptures in their letters, Gospels, narrative, and apocalypse. These collected essays, written by both colleagues and former students, reveal the immense appreciation that he has garnered among scholars and exegetes of all kinds.
